    Case Summary: WPA 18631/2025 The court dismissed the petition, holding that the petitioner's construction (95.49 sq m, 5.33m height) violated Section 23(1) of the West Bengal Panchayat Act 1973, which requires prior written permission from the Gram Panchayat for structures up to 150 sq m and 6.5m height. The petitioner admittedly constructed without obtaining this sanction, and the court found no evidence the structure pre-dated the 1973 Act. Rejecting the petitioner's repair argument, the court directed demolition within six weeks as no statutory regularization provision exists for unauthorized construction.
